Biography
Brendan Filone was a close friend and the partner-in-crime of Christopher Moltisanti, and he became an associate in Tony Soprano's crew of the DiMeo crime family. Filone and Moltisanti both used crystal meth, and he was known to always be high, and to frequently disobey orders. In 1999, Filone and Moltisanti hijacked a Comley Trucking truck and stole a number of DVD players. Junior Soprano, the protector of Comley Trucking, demanded restitution. Junior told Tony to keep Filone controlled, but Filone told Moltisanti that they should do more work on their own, as they were unable to rise in the ranks of the Mafia. Filone decided to carry out another heist against Comley Trucking with two African-American cohorts, with Moltisanti choosing to instead follow the rules and stay out of the heist. During the theft, Filone's cohort accidentally killed the driver when he dropped his gun. Filone was forced to return the truck to Junior Soprano, but Soprano was not satisfied. Mikey Palmice entered Filone's house and confronted Filone, who was sitting in his bathtub. Palmice said, "Hijack, bye Jack," and he proceeded to shoot him clean through the eye with a silenced pistol.
